Chapter 1347 Worth Saving

“I just wanted to let you know that Cyrus will be joining me,” Wynter stated as she stared at Reuben.

She chose not to explain further, fearing that someone might eavesdrop. Besides, she wouldn’t be able to attain the results she wanted if she told the truth.

Cyrus halted his movements at the mention of his name. Though his once gloomy expression had lightened, he remained puzzled as to why Wynter, whom he barely knew, needed his company.

He was still reeling from the earlier event and felt conflicted toward Wynter. After all, she was the one who drove Easton out of the Whitman residence.

Easton was a distant relative of Cyrus‘ maternal grandmother, Tamia Wooten. He had remained with the Whitman family for years, and Cyrus had always regarded him fondly. If Noah hadn’t disclosed Easton’s betrayal, Cyrus would never have suspected him of such treachery.

Cyrus couldn’t understand why Easton would turn against the Whitman family, who had treated him with kindness. He briefly considered Tamia’s involvement but quickly dismissed the idea.

Before Cyrus could voice his refusal, Reuben interjected, “Of course. Let Cyrus introduce you to the group.

Cyrus was stunned. Who exactly was he supposed to introduce Wynter to?

Noting Cyrus‘ confusion, Reuben calmly gazed at him and asked, “What? Are you not willing?”

If Cyrus were to express his refusal, Reuben wouldn’t hesitate to consider someone else for the family business. It wasn’t mandatory to pass it down to a blood descendant, anyway. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Taylor wordlessly listened to the conversation, though the sharp glint in his eyes suggested he had grasped Reuben’s intention. Noah came to the same realization, but his reaction was far from pleased.

Over the years, he had been negligent and now deeply regretted leaving his son in his wife’s care. Although he didn’t entirely blame Ophelia, he knew her relatives had a strong influence on Cyrus.

Cyrus set down his fork as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “Don’t be mad, Grandpa. Of course, I’m

willing.”

“Then why are you hesitating? Act like a man! You’re a member of the Whitman family!” Reuben reprimanded, clearly feeling disappointed in Cyrus.

Sensing the rising tension, Marie interjected after understanding Wynter’s intention. “Even with Cyrus‘ age, he’s just four years ahead of Wynter. Besides, he just returned from abroad and isn’t fully up to speed with everything. You need to be patient with him, Dad.”

She continued with a faint smile, “He’s a lot like a younger Taylor–both righteous and compassionate. I’m sure he might adjust his demeanor after proper guidance.”

Cyrus looked at Marie for the first time, having realized her attempt to help him out of a tough spot. To his surprise, she wasn’t entirely defending him, either.

“Cyrus, as the Whitman family’s eldest child, you need to consider the people and situations around you more carefully. It’s important to understand what’s truly beneficial or detrimental to you,” Marie advised. Compared to Noah’s lecture, Cyrus found Marie’s advice easier to comprehend. She would patiently provide an explanation, helping him realize certain aspects he had previously overlooked.

Cyrus had always known he was slow to learn and wasn’t cut out for business. He wasn’t like his father and uncle, who commanded respect and fear everywhere they went. Instead, he, had a circle of friends
